Opening to green

It’s birthday time.
and, I’ve been lighting candles
with fervor
burning away what is not working
illuminating the path, to show me the way.
in response, perhaps, the years have been softening me
though, I have not directly asked for that ~
showing me, in all my wrongness, there’s one thing I have right:
my love.
my growing capacity to love.
personal love,
impersonal love,
love of thyself
love of the moment
love of fleeting passion present
love that burns through time and space, with such eternity
knowing no end can ever come of it, because it would only do it to itself, and it really wouldn’t, because it’s matured.
This is my communion, my continuity, my flame for this life. This is my time, and this is its purpose.
and, I am so sincerely present.
without a doubt, I’ve never hidden under a basket.
nor behind a cloak.
I have been the bare me all along.
I have born myself of raw flesh and spirals
I have broken skin and wishes and daydreams.
My knees have been skinned on so many near-almosts…
…absolute misses…
while
Going for it, going for it all.
and there is never a guarantee in the program
the program is not built for guarantees. The whole thing is based on risks and risk assessments.
They say that only the courageous or the stupid put it all out there.
how about the one who knows
that there’s nothing else that’s worth it. Holding back is actually the norm.
and the more i can dig in, this year and next year, and maybe more years after that,
the more dirt under my nails, the more fires smoking in my eyes, the more the holy reckoning,
the more moments of absolute REST after the sheer ‘enoughness’ of my irrevocable ALL
I know I’m living.
I’m doing it.
HBD to me.
🎉
and if I should part before too soon
or even near soon at all,
I shall know that what I’ve done here,
is really, really lived.
Happy Birthday Ka! Have a great day! 🎈
Thank you! ☺️ 💃
Welcome!
Happy Birthday, Ka! You have a lot to celebrate! 💕
Thank you! ☀️ 😘
What a beautiful post, painting, and perspective. Happy birthday Ka!🎈💖
Thank you so much, Brad!!! It was awesome to see you here 🙂
😍
There are many angles to this.
Firstly, happy birthday. Every revolution around our local star is… “revolutionary”.
Which, to my mind, is sort of the point.
The life you portray is the revolution of love in one life seeking to set the world on fire.
Happy birthday, and may the candles that really matter never blow out.
Thank you, Simon.
I so appreciate you.
Beautiful,! Merriest Solar Return to you! 💕
Hi Linda,

Happy birthday to the purest soul I know, the kindest, gentlest and the most loving person I know and my life has been blessed and enriched by your presence. May all you dreams be fulfilled and happiness and health your constant. Thank you for gracing my life ..love you ♥️
Once again, your words, YASSY, which I read, and re-read, and will probably re-read again, have managed to fill my eyes and heart with grace and light —that only this very close sibling twin anam cara could— love you too! Thank you for your gorgeous blessing on my birthday. It feels so gentle and powerful in one meeting, like I am now walking on clouds with the belief that all this goodness will come to pass through both of our lives! Love you, too!!!! 💗🫶💗🫶💗🫶💗
Love you 🥰

Yay! 🫶🤗
Having you celebrate my birthday this year with me was the best! 🤣 Sure I shed some ample tears in the morning, but I was held. Then I got to laugh some. And also, I got to deepen.
💗
May everyday of your life be a celebration.. because that’s who you are ..a beautiful blessing 😍🥰
Happy Birthday beautiful Ka! Many blessings to you 🌈🎉💞
Thank you so much, Karen! Thank you for being here with me to help me celebrate 🙂 It’s so wonderful to know you, and for us to exchange all that we do. I feel pretty blessed.
Happy Birthday Ka, you are indeed loving you beautifully. This journey is such a profound teacher, and you may have lots of skinned knee’s and a bit of dirt here and there…but the smile in your eyes will never be moved because of it. Have a great day kind lady 🤗🥰❤️🙏
Mark, Thank you so much for the birthday blessings! I had to circle back. I have fresher eyes now, at my desktop computer. lol. I just lack the icons here. But you get my energy, i think. Your words, “the smile in your eyes will never be moved because of it.” Yes, you are so right, Mark. It’s beyond words my friend. It feels ‘so good’ to have you here. Thank you for sharing this moment with me to help me to celebrate another year/trip. Hugs!
Why thank you Ka, and my pleasure. May your year be blessed with fun, hugs…and a chocolate or two kind lady. Or whatever your favorite ‘encounter’ may be 🤗😂❤️🙏
I could definitely use more “fun.”
😆 not to cherry-pick my blessings ! I am grateful. Thank you, thank you! I do like chocolate, 🍫 too! 🎉 🤗
Happy Happy birthday.
Thank you very much! 🙂
Let’s increase the love we feel and give. I love this message, Ka. Happy birthday. Stay amazing!

Thank you so so much, Sue!! You have been on my mind and definitely not forgotten!!, I will be visiting you very soon! Thanks so much for your kind and thoughtful words, wishes, and blessings! It’s a great joy to share the love with you! xoxo
Many thanks Ka, maybe you sensed i was in need ofca little uplifting a while back as you will see by my July posting.
Glad all is well with you.
Sending love and hugs xx ❤️
Yes, sometimes I feel it like a little “ping” moving through “the force.” I send a ping out to check in, not sure what initiates the check in sometimes. Then when the “ping” comes back in the life force might feel shifted or different quality or even less in strength. It’s a thing that’s been happening more and more on the periphery of my awareness. I hope that you are much better now! I’ll be right over to your blog my dear! 🤗 You feel like you are moving in the right direction. 💗💗💗
I want to help buoy 🛟 and lend a hand, my heart, my love. Even in the after affect there is the experience of recovering from the expedience!
Thank you Ka for that energetic connection my friend, it is truly felt. And yesterday the 8th, was the first real day I seemed to be full of energy, 🙂 the Lion’s Gate no doubt kicking in 🙂
Many thanks again, and have a lovely peaceful Sunday xx ❤
You getting that boost ! 🦁 You deserve it my dear friend! 💫
Thank you 😊 😍
